…Restored and newly mixed by the band’s Archivist Andy Gamble from tapes found in Francis Rossi’s library. This 2CD edition features the full 18 track concert.
Recorded at the legendary Hammersmith Odeon on 27th June 1979 as part of the bands If You Can’t Stand the Heat Tour, this is regarded as one of the most sought-after live shows from the band and shows Status Quo at their loudest and proudest.
‘Rockin’ All Over the World’ barrels out with cheerful abandon, then ‘Down Down’ grinds forward on that unmistakable Quo chug. ‘Roll Over Lay Down’ stretches into a crowd-pleasing stomp, the band sounding thoroughly pleased with the volume of their own amplifiers.
A deluxe edition of Status Quo’s first concert album will pair the original album – never a favorite of the band’s leader – with the full, newly-remixed shows that it was assembled from.
